Ah yes, welcome to 1998 again. Terrible companies doing stupid things to filter out browsers instead of making browser companies do the right thing.

  FWIW, it is likely not the websites looking at user agent. Just checked with "qutebrowser (1.1.1-1ubuntu0.1)", and both github and gitlab work, at least for code viewing. Github shows a badge but then works anyway. The OP does say things like: > if you choose to do sensible things like blanket-ban 3rd-party cookies, disable referrer API, disable canvas, etc. so maybe they disabled too much stuff in the otherwise-working browser?

    The websites should work without that stuff. Chase did something recently where they blacklisted browsers, its just another case of "Whats old is new again" in terms of bad software development.

      We don't know what "etc" includes. If they disabled JavaScript for example then I'm not at all surprised the site wouldn't work.

        Disabling JS shouldn't break a website. I refer folks to 1998 again...
